To our delight, both The Plan and our main project Among the Sleep[www.krillbite.com] has been greenlit for release on Steam! At the moment we’re correcting a few minor issues, and implementing the necessary Steam SDK. We're trying to get it published on Steam very soon, but the game can already be played for free from the projects homepage[www.krillbite.com].

It’s especially great to see that The Plan, as a free, short and experimental project, will still be published on one of the worlds biggest distribution platforms. Because Steam is such an important distributor of games, we think it’s important that they continue to offer a wide variety of experiences to their users.

Thanks so much to everyone that voted for the project, helped spread the word, and commented here on the greenlight page. We really appreciate all your support!

The Plan have now been out for a week, and 24.000 (!) people have already downloaded and played it! In addition, the game is currently 73% on the way to Greenlights top #100 list, and continues to climb! The positive feedback has been amazing - here is a a little snippet of its reception around the web:

"Hey, You Should Play This"Giantbomb

"Sit back, and BRACE FOR SOOTHING AMBIENCE"PCgamer

"Krillbite Studio, the developers behind Among The Sleep, have gone on and released a most polished, visually stunning and freeware new game"Indiegames.com

"Some may argue that The Plan isn't really a game and it definitely occupies the same terrain as Journey, Passage, and Dear Esther, but it's shorter than Journey, prettier than Passage, and less overwrought than Dear Esther, making it well worth taking a punt on for the low price of free."Eurogamer

"It’s that space in the mechanics for thought and interpretation that I appreciate most here. The Plan won’t break your brain, but it’s a nicely contemplative journey."RockPaperShotgun

"In order, here are the emotions I experienced during the three minutes it took me to play The Plan, the new free morsel from the Norweigan indie developer Krillbite: confusion, frustration, boredom, fear, amusement, delight, joy, enchantment, and regret. One of the things independent games ask us to do is accept that a three-minute game can be as valid as a thirty-hour one. Games like these make it hard to disagree."Buzzfeed

"It's a side scroller... I see... Pass."Youtube comment

We've also rolled out an update to fix a few minor bugs that people have been having. Please share this page if you'd like others to play it, and have it in your own Steam library :)

A few people have requested more information about what gameplay to expect in The Plan. The reason we’ve been reluctant to reveal much detail until now, is because the game is quite short and we don't want to spoil too much of what you will encounter. In general though, as the in-game teaser implies, you control a fly in 2.5D side-scroller style, while exploring an atmospheric forest environment. You will have to overcome various obstacles to reach your goal. It’s neither a very traditional gameplay-heavy game, nor a game for everyone. But we think it’s important that Steam offers diverse experiences for its users.

The last thing we want is that people get the wrong expectations, so it’s important to emphasize that The Plan is a short and experimental game. This is also one of the reasons we think it’s appropriate to release it for free.
